I bet Les has a damn cell phone hid some where in case he gets hurt or cant make it.

yeah I think though that the purpose of Bear's show is to teach people how to survive, and Les's show is more "Hey Im a badass, watch me do it all by myself."

Both excellent shows, I just like survivorman a tad bit more. Its funny to hear Les whine about shlt too.

While I agree with several of the shows listed, the vast majority of them - taken within the context of 'improving intelligence' - have gone to make this thread much more ironic than I'd ever imagined before opening it.

Mr. Wizard
Mythbusters

Jeopardy?

Come on man...that's the problem the educational system. Just memorization. You don't need to actually "know" anything.

I've been watching lots of "Desperate Housewives" and have learned / confirmed that it's best to make your own kids mow the lawn.
